makes total sense, (with-primitives :polygon ...) looks very weird to me.
This is true, and it makes me doubt that WITH-PRIMITIVE(S) is such
a good name after all. It's always called "glBegin/glEnd" in OpenGL
literature, but WITH-BEGIN-END-BLOCK sounds weird to me.
It's always the same trade off: try to create a closer to lisp API vs.
not getting to far away from the original one so the new API is easy to
understand.
The guys at pyopengl did a mirror of OpenGL. I don't know what should
you do in lisp-gl, but for my graphical library I decided to diverge
from the SDL lib. I'm sure someone will do an exact translation from
SDL*.h with SWIG (or even manually)
My idea is a library that can be used the following way:
(init :init-video)
(with-open-window (s "Hi, my window name is this" '(640 480) :doublebuf)
(loop
for i from 1 to 480
do (draw-point s i i (random (expt 2 24))))
(update s)
(event-loop SDL_WaitEvent event
(SDL_QUIT (quit))))
I'm not interested in mimicking how the API works in C. If someone
plans to work in lisp in a C way he can do it with the SWIG generated file.
Some time in the future, when the low level SDL-cffi lisp file is
stable I will base my library on top of it.

rogersm.
